Abstract: The present invention provides a non-pharmaceutical bactericidal composition against a Helicobacter pylori, including a first daily edible component and a second daily edible component, wherein the first daily edible component has a molecular state and a dissociated state while in an aqueous solution state, the first daily edible component of the molecular state is used for performing functions of killing the Helicobacter pylori and inhibiting an ascorbate oxidase activity of the Helicobacter pylori in an environment with a pH value below 5, and the first daily edible component is a citric acid, a malic acid or a combination thereof, and wherein the second daily edible component is a salt used to form a buffer combination with the first daily edible component, and used to neutralize a bicarbonate, so that the first daily edible component can continue its killing of the Helicobacter pylori effectively and inhibiting the ascorbate oxidase activity of the Helicobacter pylori, and the salt is a salt of the citric

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dried burdock seed extract in order to manufacture the dried burdock seed extract rich in arcitigenin is disclosed. The method includes: sequentially mixing a raw material, water and an extractant to obtain a mixture. The mixture includes 7-14 vol % of the raw material, 8-40 vol % of water and 50-84 vol % of the extractant being a 95% aqueous ethanol solution. The raw material is then extracted at a boiling condition for 20-180 minutes, followed by concentration and centrifugation to obtain the dried burdock seed extract. A method for purifying the dried burdock seed extract is also disclosed.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a support frame, a crank assembly, two swing units, and two pedal assemblies. The crank assembly is mounted on the rear of the support frame, and has a crankshaft and a pair of crank members. Each swing unit includes a lever mounted on the front of the support frame, and a longitudinal connecting unit connected to a respective crank member. Each pedal assembly includes a rocking arm with a pivot end mounted pivotally on the front of the support frame, and a pedal axle having a rear end making relative sliding movement with the connecting unit when the pedal axle is moved. The pedal assemblies are respectively connected to the swing units for swinging synchronously with the swing units.
